Founded by concerned neighbors to reclaim a blighted corner, this small but ambitious market, which became a nonprofit organization a year after it began in 2009, is truly focused on community outreach. A raised-bed farm has emerged over the concreted; the market gathers on a tree-lined, grassy lot next door. It's worth a visit just to check on the progress of the farm, but while you're there, pick up seasonal fruits and veggies and fresh bread from La Calavera Bakery.

Parking tip: You can almost always grab a spot immediately in front of the farm on Hosea Williams Drive or right across the street.
